OpenSHMEM 2016: Third workshop on OpenSHMEM and Related Technologies.

Invited Speaker
Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda

ABSTRACT
This talk will focus on challenges in designing scalable and
high-performance OpenSHMEM and hybrid MPI+OpenSHMEM libraries for
exascale systems. Motivations, features and design guidelines for
supporting OpenSHMEM and hybrid MPI and PGAS (including OpenSHMEM, UPC
and CAF) programming model with the MVAPICH2-X library will be
presented. The role of unified communication runtime to support
OpenSHMEM and hybrid programming models on InfiniBand, NVIDIA GPGPUs
(while exploiting GPUDirect RDMA and CUDA-Aware OpenSHMEM) and Intel
Xeon Phi will be outlined. Unique capabilities of the hybrid MPI+PGAS
model to re-design HPC applications to harness performance and
scalability will also be presented through a set of case-studies.

BIOGRAPHYDK Panda is a Professor and University Distinguished Scholar of
Computer Science and Engineering at the Ohio State University. He has
published over 400 papers in the area of high-end computing and
networking. The MVAPICH2 libraries with support for MPI and PGAS on
IB, Omni-Path, iWARP, RoCE, GPGPUs, Xeon Phis and virtualization
(http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu), are currently being used by more
than 2,600 organizations worldwide (in 81 countries). This software
is empowering several InfiniBand clusters (including the 12th, 15th,
and 31st ranked ones) in the TOP500 list. As of June '16, more than
379,000 downloads have taken place from this project's site. This
software is also being distributed by many InfiniBand, Omni-Path,
iWARP and RoCE vendors in their software distributions. He is an IEEE
Fellow. More details about Prof. Panda are available at
